Description

One of the originals, and one of the best.

The Maxxis Ignitor 29-inch Tire first rolled onto the scene about 10 years ago, making it one of the first 29er tires available. It's stuck around this long for a number of reasons, including its ready-for-anything tread pattern, and the fact that the Ignitor continues to roll fast with two casing options.

Both Ignitors use Maxxis' Aramid folding bead, all-round proficient 70a durometer rubber, and ramped pentagonal knobs. But, the F60 SC uses a 60 tpi nylon casing and the F120 SC eXC/EXO has a 120 tpi nylon casing. The latter adds 100 grams to the tire's mass, but gives a more supple ride over varied terrain. Usually, higher tpi counts result in a lighter tire, however, in this instance, Maxxis' EXO protection adds an extremely cut-resistant and abrasion-resistant material to the sidewalls. While this increases weight, the added puncture protection is much appreciated and the EXO is highly flexible to ensure performance remains unaffected. As stated above, the Ignitor continues to use ramped pentagonal knobs, earning it ample traction in almost any riding conditions.

The Maxxis Ignitor Mountain Bike Tire - 29in has a clincher bead and comes in an XC-friendly 2.1in width.
